BAFTA Awards 2024: the most memorable look? What wasn't there

Let's face it: without the Princess Kate who walks the red carpet showing off one of her unforgettable looks, the level of glamor of the ceremony BAFTA it lowers slightly. With all due respect to all the elegant celebrities present at the Royal Festival Hall, London of which we offer you a broad overview below, the absence of the light emanating from His Highness at the delivery of the British Oscars it definitely makes itself felt.

In fact, the singer seems to have taken inspiration from the Princess of Wales for the creation of her look shown off at the 2024 Grammys. Is it still the Kate effect?

The presence of the royal is in fact what makes the award ceremony unique, which is why it is highly anticipated. The red carpets, especially in the first months of the year, are full but not all of them can boast the presence of one of the most celebrated fashion icons on the planet, royal what's more.

There Princess of Wales, as we well know, is far from the spotlight due to the convalescence following the surgery she underwent about a month ago. Allow us a little lightness, confident in reviewing Kate on the runway very soon: her temporary indisposition deprives us of the possibility of seeing what the royal would have worn for the occasion. For the BAFTAs the princess has always given us memorable outfits, each in her own way.

Kate is the undisputed queen of the event but let's not forget that she is there to accompany the Prince William what gods British Academy of Film and Television Art he has been the president in office since February 2010. The first appearance at the ceremony as a couple was recorded in 2017 when the then Duchess of Cambridge showed off the long dress floral Alexander McQueen which two years later made the news thanks to the sartorial modification (two sleeves were inserted on the neckline Bardot). The fashion house that accompanied her to the altar has always been present on the BAFTA red carpet except in 2018 when the royal, pregnant with the little Louisopted for a dark green dress Jenny Packham.

Princess Kate leaves everyone breathless on the BAFTA 2023 red carpet

“Recycled” McQueen dress and coordinated look with her husband William: at the “British Oscars” awards ceremony we saw all the successful ingredients of the royal's style on the plate. With a detail that is difficult to predict: the maxi earrings from Zara

The 2019 outfit is one of those that have marked the imagination linked to Kate for more than one reason. The white one-shoulder jacket signed once again Alexander McQueen not only is it one of the most loved dresses in the wardrobe of the wife of the future sovereign of the United Kingdom but it reappeared with equal and opposite force on the red carpet of the BAFTA 2023, entering forcefully into legend.

Instead of floral decoration, flowing drapery was inserted and a pair of black opera gloves gave character to the ensemble. The icing on the cake: in addition to very precious jewels, Kate chose a pair of eye-catching earrings from Zara accessible to all. Furthermore, the black and white of her look played with the elements of tuxedo of William for a matchy-matchy in version grand soiree.

Who knows if Kate would have chosen another Alexander McQueen designer model after leaving the fashion house Sarah Burton. She would have taken, as has already happened in the past, an old dress and refurbished it with one of those clever operations upcycling to which he has accustomed us? And again, she would have chosen a instead new brand for the BAFTA red carpet? We ask ourselves these questions because while the void is felt and we can't wait to see it shine in the spotlight again.

We then come to the host alone on the red carpet even though his wife's spirit hovered over his choice of style. William gave himself to** rewear** dusting off the blue velvet tuxedo previously worn at Royal Variety Performance of 2021.

Giorgio Armani, Valentine, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, just to name a few. There was certainly no shortage of big names on this Sunday in which, also thanks to the Fashion Week, London is filled with fashion and sequins. Let's see together who dressed who at the BAFTAs 2024.
